2021 Toyota C-HR 1.8L Hybrid electric (clean) · DF21 HSG

Recurring tyre-related advisories define the recent MOT history for this vehicle, indicating a pattern of rubber degradation and component wear. While the car passed its most recent inspection on 05 June 2026, the record shows a consistent trend of advisories concerning tyre condition, specifically noting cracking or perishing on the offside rear tyre in the latest test. This follows previous advisories in June 2024 regarding both front tyres perishing and a part-worn tyre being fitted to the nearside rear, suggesting that while the vehicle maintains its basic roadworthiness, the consumables are frequently reaching the limit of their acceptable condition. The recorded mileage of 36,714 miles over approximately five years represents an average annual accumulation of roughly 7,343 miles. This usage profile is consistent with typical light-to-moderate driving patterns rather than high-intensity motorway use or excessive short-trip urban cycles. From a mechanical perspective, this level of mileage suggests that while major drivetrain components may not have reached high-wear thresholds, the vehicle is subject to the natural aging processes of rubber components and seals, which is reflected in the specific tyre advisories noted in the DVSA records. A prospective buyer should pay close attention to the condition of all four tyres during a physical inspection, looking beyond mere tread depth to check for sidewall cracking or signs of age-related perishing. Given the history of part-worn tyres and perishing rubber, it is advisable to inspect the tyre manufacture dates and ensure there is no uneven wear that could indicate underlying suspension geometry issues. On a test drive, listen for any rhythmic thumping or humming noises from the tyres at varying speeds, which could indicate irregular wear patterns or internal tyre structure failure. Beyond the tyres, the absence of structural or braking advisories in the recent history is a relevant factor, but the focus should remain on the integrity of the rubber components. Check for any signs of bulging in the tyre sidewalls and ensure the steering remains straight under moderate braking to rule out any secondary effects from the previously noted tyre issues. While the MOT history does not flag specific suspension or brake pipe defects, the recurring nature of the tyre advisories warrants a thorough visual check of the wheel arches and suspension bushes for any signs of debris or premature wear that often accompanies aged rubber components.
